Chapter 83: Invitation to Join the Dungeon
The fierce battle came quickly and ended quickly.
The fight was over, and only then did the audience react and realize clearly the gap between themselves and the two people on the ring.
"So fast, so strong, is this the strength of a [Hero] level?"
"A wooden sword alone can exert such power."
"And that priest was able to fight the leader."
…
"Draw?"
"Draw."
The two threw away their wooden swords, and the fight naturally ended in a draw. Margaret would not use the unique power of the seventh step to affect the audience, and Mo Cheng could not use [Wild Beast] to smash [Zen] to force an explosive punch.
In a competition-style ring fight, the only purpose is to compare skills with each other. Stronger powers and skills require real fire, and can only be used in a life-and-death battle.
Mo Cheng could still distinguish the difference between sparring and a fatal attack, and most people would not go to great lengths to attack the sponsor who paid them for no reason.
"Priest, your fighting skills are more powerful than your holy light." Feeling Mo Cheng's strength at close range, even though both sides were consciously limiting their strength, from his reactions and performance during the battle, Margaret judged that Mo Cheng had extremely rich fighting experience.
He was so rich that if he wasn't in a higher class, he probably wouldn't be able to beat the smiling priest in front of him.
Mo Cheng shrugged and replied playfully, "Holy Light is good for developing believers, and fighting is good for enabling the reserve believers to listen to my sermons."
This sentence has been a long-standing religious joke not only on Earth, but also on the continent of Kovare.
"Then I guess you must be good at preaching."
The two chatted while continuing to visit the Law Enforcement Corps headquarters. When they saw that the time was almost up, Mo Cheng suggested leaving. At the same time, Margaret followed him to see Mo Cheng out.
The work had been arranged and handled a few days ago. The original plan was to discuss with Mo Cheng and check the accounts in the Weiguang store, but it was obvious that a certain priest simply did not have the time to proofread the accounts.
"By the way, Captain Margaret, I want to ask what happened to the group of escaped prisoners?"
Mo Cheng was the first to bring up the topic. Although he guessed that the fugitive was hiding in the sinking area, he still needed to collect information from all aspects for comparison.
The law enforcement team is a good source of information as long as Margaret is willing to talk about it.
Fortunately, the female knight did not reject the topic.
"Unfortunately, after the fugitive named Naraka caused a scene, we lost track of the others. We were able to confirm that they had not escaped from Fairhaven, but we were unable to find any more clues."
There was a hidden anger in Margaret
"The law enforcement team searched the area and confirmed that the fugitives were not hiding in these areas. So you can rest assured, priest. What happened before will not happen again."
These words made Mo Cheng deviate from the direction of the sinking area where the fugitive was hiding. There were only a few areas outside the jurisdiction of the law enforcement team, and the noble area was too close to the central palace area. No one dared to hide the criminal and take the risk of the fugitive being discovered in someone's house.
In this way, the only thing left is the sinking area that the surface order and laws of the Fairsea civilization cannot reach.
As if she didn't want to discuss this topic in depth, Margaret changed the subject and said, "By the way, Reverend Mo Cheng, I heard that Albert's House was harassed by gangsters some time ago?"
"A group of thugs tried to blackmail me, and they succeeded. So I went to Edward today not only to help him with his treatment, but also to ask him to come forward and solve the problem."
Margaret was very surprised to hear Mo Cheng's words. She stopped and looked at Mo Cheng steadily. After a while, she said, "Excuse me, priest, you are not as gentle as you look."
As someone who had experienced Mo Cheng's "Wild Beast" aura up close, and the raging fire in his eyes after his fistfight with Ralph, and the oppressive fighting skills in the ring just now, Margaret did not really believe that Mo Cheng was the kind of gentle priest in the conventional sense.
"I respect the local laws and order, unless it can no longer protect me." Mo Cheng smiled gently, "As for the incident with Naraka, well... it was an accident, a not-so-nice accident."
"Thank you for your support for the work of the law enforcement team. We will deal with the thugs who harass the Albert House." Margaret rolled her eyes. This topic was dead again. If they continued to talk about it in depth, it would become a diplomatic relations issue for the safety of the members of the Church of Light in the capital of the Principality of Aundair.
But in the end, she reminded him, "Priest, if, I mean if there are gangsters harassing the Albert House, and the law enforcement team happens to be out of your sight, I hope no one will be killed."
"I mean if those hooligans try to tarnish the sacred glory with extortion, and they [accidentally] fall into a ditch, hit a wall and break bones or something like that, the Enforcement Corps won't do anything about it."
Obviously, Margaret could understand some of the problems Mo Cheng faced and was willing to provide some assistance.
"I will."
The two continued walking for a while. Margaret frowned and seemed to be hesitant to speak several times. Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, "Priest, I have something I want to ask you for help with."
After speaking, Margaret seemed to relax a lot, without so many worries, "You should have seen my sword."
Mo Cheng nodded, "A very powerful weapon."
"It was left by an ancestor of my family. Before me, eleven successors have tried to repair it, but all failed. Now the sword is on the verge of breaking."
"so?"
"So I would like to ask for your help to repair this sword. I will open the past memories of the consciousness inside the sword to fulfill the last wish of my ancestors and completely sublimate this sword."
Mo Cheng looked at Margaret in surprise. He didn't expect that she was planning to invite him to "go to a dungeon".
Residents of the continent of Kovare occasionally encounter different dimensions, enter illusions or past experiences through some means, or even accidentally step on empty air and fall into a large different dimension. The spatial structure of this world is also somewhat special.
Of course, this kind of behavior of traveling to different spaces, different dimensions, even illusions and exploring past experiences is collectively referred to as "going to dungeons" among "foreign" players.
However, Mo Cheng remembered that most of the copies of weapons and equipment types were limited to one person.
As if she saw Mo Cheng's doubts, Margaret added: "Use the highest-quality materials to awaken consciousness. In addition to myself, I can also support one person who is not more than the [Elite] level to enter."
